Northern Two-Lined Salamander
(Eurycea bislineata)
The Northern Two-Lined Salamander is 2.5 -.3.75 inches in length. They are generally brown, green or sometimes orange-bronze with a wide yellow stripe on the back. The stripe is bordered on each side by a dark line that starts from the eye and continues down the body. As the lines come closer to the tail they will often become broken into dots or dashes.
Females can lay anywhere from 12 - 100 eggs attached to plants, rocks or logs under the water of the brooks and streams where they are most commonly found. They are also found along floodplains, swamps, and rivers and can be found at elevations as high as 6,000 feet.
